After marriage, even if Liu Erye was equipped with a lot of maids and mothers-in-law, and there were three or four cooks, Du Xiaoxi still insisted on cooking by himself.

Grab a man's heart, grab a man's stomach first.

In Du Xiaoxi's view, this sentence is not only applicable to men, but also to all family members.

In his previous life, Du Xiaoxi ate Du's mother's cooking for 20 years, and when she lived in the school and ate in the school cafeteria, she always felt that it was not a habitual taste. What's more, Du Ma has always used sugar to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, not salt. Du Xiaoxi was very devastated when he first ate salty tomato scrambled eggs outside, how could it be salty? Isn't it supposed to be sweet and sour? It's sour, sweet and salty, what the hell is this?

Based on his own personal experience, Du Xiaoxi is deeply aware of the importance of the cook, and the taste of the son's son is still cultivated by himself!

Give my son a steamed bowl of fragrant and soft egg custard, and the yam and red date pork rib soup next to it is almost the same, and look at the time when it is almost the time for Liu Yao to go down to the ya, and the dish will be fried.

Du Xiaoxi was ready here, Liu Yao had just come back and had already freshened up, and was holding the little star who was tossed and woken up by his father and sat obediently waiting to be fed.

The meal was served, and Du Xiaoxi took the stinky boy who couldn't wait to climb onto the table and fed the custard.

Liu Yao drank a bowl of soup and stopped waiting for Du Xiaoxi to eat together.

Liu Yao looked at the mother and son with a smile on her face, one thinking about reaching out to grab it all the time, and the other slowly feeding around the corner, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

Du Xiaoxi was busy with her son and did not ignore her husband, and the two of them had a family routine without a word: "In a few days, the old lady in the palace of Mingjun will have her birthday." My aunt asked me to go with me, will you go? ”

"When?"

"It seems that ten days later, the eldest aunt didn't explain it"

Liu Yao calculated the time, nodded and said hello. Turning to the things in the yamen.

It stands to reason that most of the county orders are to stay in the yamen to read the papers, try the case, and spend a busy day for trivial or shocking cases, but Hongxing County is different. Most of the granges of the powerful families in Kyoto City under the jurisdiction of Hongxing County usually do not seek Liu Yao, the prefectural order, when making trouble. The remaining dozens of small villages are also poor places with barren land and no characteristics, and the people are diligent in doing some small business, and they will not go to the county government to have a look.

Liu Yao's main task is to manage the East Garden. I had nothing to do and went around in a circle, and then I went home. I don't know what happened these days. Liu Yao hurried back to accompany the two of them to dinner.

"Have you been busy in the yamen lately?"

Liu Yao couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face, shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a case has dragged on for a few days and hasn't been solved." ”

"What case?" Du Xiaoxi asked casually.

Liu Yao has always felt that his sister is smart and cute, and he occasionally talks to Du Xiaoxi about the troubles in the yamen. Ask her for her opinion.

"A few days ago, many villages were coming to file a case, saying that the trees in the village were lost, and there were still people stealing them these days, and they really couldn't catch the thieves, so they couldn't find the yamen."

Du Xiaoxi was puzzled, "Tree? Someone still steals the tree? ”

Liu Yao nodded, and motioned for Du Xiaoxi to eat first and wait later.

After eating, the family of three moved to the bed by the window, the two coaxed their son, and Liu Yao talked in detail about the recent wood theft case.

"Northland trees are sparse and slow to grow. In addition to the large trees planted by every household, there is usually a communal land in the village where trees are planted. These trees belong to the entire village and are used by every household. But you can't just use it. These trees are all numbered. ”

"Counted?" Du Xiaoxi had a question mark in his head.

Liu Yao nodded, "The trees in the village are very precious, burning firewood to build houses, making furniture for dowries, and buying longevity timber all need trees, and a certain amount must be handed over to the yamen every year." They don't have enough trees, and no one will actively destroy this large area of woods......"

Du Xiaoxi agrees with the fixed point head. The small trees on the mountain in Dujia Village cannot be cut down at will, and the people who go up the mountain can only pick up firewood on the ground and cut some small branches, and cannot hurt the roots of the trees. In the Northland, the number of trees is small, so it should be more cherished.

Liu Yao continued: "A few days ago, a village found that several big trees in their forest had been cut down, and the same thing happened in other villages one after another. Their Li Zheng and Zhuangtou searched for a long time but did not catch the thief, so they came to the yamen together to ask the county magistrate to help them administer justice. ”

Stealing trees is really weird!

Du Xiaoxi sighed in his heart, strange things happen every year, and there are many of them this year.

"Still haven't you found it?"

Liu Yao sighed, nodded and said, "No, our people have all been to see these villages, and no traces of thieves have been found, and a few trees were stolen from another village yesterday." Now there is really no way, these villages can only send their own people to guard them. ”

Du Xiaoxi tilted his head, "What can you do if you steal this tree?" For your own use? Don't you need so much? Could it be that it was sold to a coffin shop? ”

Liu Yao shook his head, "At the beginning, we spread out the coffins nearby, and we didn't find anything abnormal. Those people should have stolen trees in the middle of the night and transported them away, and they couldn't catch anyone during the day. ”

"Lucky away in the dark? It would take a long time for such a big tree to cut off its branches, and it would be dawn to pack up and hit the road, and no one would find out for so long unless those people found a place to hide the trees! ”

Liu Yao nodded in agreement, "After chasing the traces of the carriages, I found that these carriages were not too far from the county seat and disappeared." The gatekeeper in the county town said that no one had ever pulled things into the city at night. I can't find the tree that was cut down, I can't find the thief, and those who are making trouble every day can only drag it like this. ”

"Carriage?" Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but wonder.

"Yes, they used horse-drawn carts to transport trees, and a few old people in the yamen found horse dung. It is reasonable that the people who got into the carriage were not short of that little money, but these people stole it several times. ”

Du Xiaoxi fell into deep thought, his eyes lit up and said: "More than a dozen trees are very heavy, if the carriage is transported away, it will definitely leave traces, do you say that it is possible to walk the waterway." It seems that the wood can float on the water, and they just have to follow and watch the wood flow down the water! ”

Liu Yao's eyes lit up when he heard Du Xiaoxi say this, he lit the tea and sketched on the table, and soon laughed loudly: "These villages are really close to the river, and if you don't leave ten, you can carry the wood away along the water." Hi sister, you're so smart!

Du Xiaoxi's modest blessing hand smiled coquettishly: "Where, where, my husband has won the award!" ”

With clues, Liu Yao didn't care about taking a lunch break, kissed Du Xiaoxi and Xiaoxing and left in a hurry.

Xiaoxing grinned and smirked and pounced on his mother to kiss him, Du Xiaoxi enthusiastically took a few sips of his son, and the two looked at each other and giggled.
